Torture Killer – Swarm

Torture Killer – Swarm – This should come as no surprise as Torture Killer first started out by playing both Six Feet Under and Obituary cover songs. Also, the band named themselves after the Six Feet Under track, “Torture Killer“. If anything, “Swarm!” sounds as if it could have easily been the third Six Feet Under album. The last few Six Feet Under releases were beginning to sound stale, boring and uninspired. Chris Barnes made a good move to join this Finnish death metal outfit. His vocal style, lyrics and production talents have definitely brought this band to another level. The guitars are slightly detuned with a thick, beefy metallic sound. They cut right through like a chainsaw ripping flesh! The drum sound is well recorded and mixed, packing quite a wallop!
